Description

Underneath inspiration of the artwork

In this piece, Torsuwan presents a woman who is underneath the water representing how other people see her only on the surface. This can be referred the famous idiom “Just a tip of the iceberg”. We can only see a part of iceberg that is above water. Submerged below the surface is the gigantic mass far larger than what is visible. This painting symbolizes her ‘secret’ – a part of her that other people perceive is small, but it is significant to her. What people know about her is just a little part. It is to message that ‘What you see from the outside is often a different story from the inside”.

Surrealism is her style!

Pang Torsuwan is a lover of surrealist art. Surrealism is a style in art and literature in which ideas, images, and objects are combined in a strange way, like in a dream. It aims to revolutionise the human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that acknowledges the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement’s artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional. This is how Pang Torsuwan expresses her feeling which are full of emotions and dreams, and transfers it on her canvas!
